Statistics to Get You Ready to Make the Most of Video Marketing In 2017

The last few years in the marketing industry has seen an increased preference for videos by both businesses and consumers. Companies have realized the power of presenting their business propositions via video while most consumers today have access to mobile devices that allow them to watch video content as well as access to internet connections that make it easy for them to enjoy videos of all types.

This rise, perhaps partially explains why Gardner, a Toronto video production company is increasing its reach to businesses that want to use video marketing to get their products and services to the right audiences. The following are insights into video marketing that you should have at your fingertips if you are to make the most of the opportunities available in this space.

Instead of reading about a product or service, most consumers prefer to watch videos about it. In fact, the number who would rather watch a video is at least four times that of those who would rather read about the product.
